Installing Packages from AUR

You may want to alias that command line. Here’s an example from this week’s releases:

The reason to use yaourt over cabal-install is that AUR packages correctly resolve all versions and, more importantly, C library and other system dependencies. Packages will also be pulled from the binary releases in [extra] and [community] where available, saving you build times.

New and Updated Packages

We now present package info sorted by category — let us know if this helps!

Since darcs, the world’s smartest revision control system, has become cabalised, and released via http://hackage.haskell.org, we’re now able to generate native packages from it automatically, using cabal2arch. This eases the maintaince burden dramatically, and should ensure continued up-to-date darcs packages for Arch.
